A dedication to my Mom...

The Angels Among Us

A Poem by Colton Warr

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” Abraham Lincoln

Have you seen it?

I have, the glimpse of God’s love

I’ve seen it in my Mothers heart

As wholesome and pure as a dove

Have you heard it?

I have, the music of an Angels harp

I’ve heard it in my Mothers voice

A word of love when standing on the scarp

Have you felt it?

I have, the calming of a friends touch    

I’ve felt it in my Mothers hand

A constant healing, even now is such

Have you heard it?

I have, the sound of a raging battle

I’ve listened to it my whole life 

And for me, until she is gone she will be embattled

 

Have you seen it?

I have, the light ever-burning through the black of night

I’ve seen it in my Mothers love

She is Gods star in my life, shining ever-so bright

*****

A Mother has a divine and glorious purpose to love her children

Through sunny and stormy days, like a shepherd, she will tend

My Mother is my hero, unsung and tough

And my family would agree, she is an Angel Among Us

What a sweet poem to your mother.
A lovely write indeed.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, Melinda! She very much enjoyed it too! thanks for giving this a read!

[Ashley Flynn]

I'm curious to know about the battle she's fighting, though I'm not entirely sure about rhyming battle with "embattled".

[Colton Warr]

Well the battle is an everyday battle of prayer, love, and grace for me. She told me about how she has been doing all of these three things for my entire life. I can't ever hope to comprehend exactly what that means, but I know its the most anyone has ever done any of those three things toward me. I'm sure most moms can say the same! Thanks for giving this a read, Ashley!

[Ronny]

Love it.
I'm not an religious man, but those words touch my Hart.
I especially like the last part after the poem itself, that just gave me goosebumps.

Thanks for sharing Colton

[Colton Warr]

Thank you so much, Ronny! I'm happy you enjoyed it! I am not as religious as I probably should be myself, but I can definitely tell you that my mom, like a lot of moms, she's not human. She has to be an angel. Anyways, thanks for giving this a read!
